I am a Catholic priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei currently pursuing a Doctorate in Sacred Theology through the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome, while providing pastoral care to members of Opus Dei and participants in their apostolates in Dallas, Texas. Previously, I spent ten years doing research in statistical physics, thermodynamics and biophysics: first as an undergraduate running experiments on spin-velocity correlations of optically pumped atoms in the laboratory of William Happer at Princeton, then as a graduate student developing theories in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics with Jeremy England at MIT, and finally as a postdoc with Pankaj Mehta at Boston University, where I applied insights from statistical physics and machine learning to the analysis of complex ecosystems. At the moment, this site is focused primarily on my postdoctoral research, and is designed as a convenient entry point for anyone interested in exploring and building on this work.
